“Use What You Got," Janiva Magness' follow up to her previously
critically acclaimed Blues Leaf releases, "My Bad Luck Soul" and
"Blues Ain't Pretty" finds her doing material by Memphis Slim, Sugar
Pie DeSanto, Billie Holiday, Ike Turner, among others. This horn
driven set is as greasy as is sassy. One of the major Blues releases
of the summer.

“Watch Out! They've turned up the heat! The Janiva Magness
Band jumps from the word go. Magness connects with genuine passion
as the band, with its fat, driving tone, draws it out of her. She
enters as one of the best new singers in this genre.” - Rich
DelGrosso, Associate Editor, Blues Revue “...From start to finish, she's a singer who
comes off as sexy and smart without ever over - singing or resorting
to red-hot mamma tripe.” - Southland Blues Magazine
